Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Extremely low suitability for your dry skin due to the presence of alcohol denat, which can be drying, and a lack of sufficient emollient ingredients to counteract this effect.
- While glycerin and hyaluronic acid offer moderate hydration, the formula does not sufficiently address flakiness or provide specialized moisturizing ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .
People Say
★4.5Overall rating based on 1.6k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, users consistently report that the serum provides an immediate boost of hydration, leaving skin feeling significantly smoother, softer, and more radiant. While many observed a reduction in fine lines and a "plumped" effect within a few weeks, a small minority experienced skin irritation or felt the anti-aging results were not visible enough to justify the price.

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise against Eucerin Hyaluron-Filler Epigenetic Serum for dry skin?
This serum has an extremely low suitability for dry skin due to alcohol denat, which can be drying, and a lack of enough rich, softening ingredients to counteract it. A moisturizing treatment for dry skin needs rich moisturizing agents and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Sodium Hyaluronate to effectively lock in moisture and address flakiness.
Which ingredients make this serum a poor fit for dry skin?
Alcohol denat makes this serum a poor fit for dry skin because it can be drying. A moisturizing treatment for dry skin needs rich, nourishing ingredients and heavy moisturizers to lock in hydration and stop flakiness.
What does Water do for dry skin?
Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.
What does Glycerin do for dry skin?
Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008
Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This product is a poor fit for dry skin because it contains alcohol, which can be drying, and lacks enough softening ingredients to keep your skin smooth and comfortable. A moisturizer of this type needs rich, nourishing oils and barrier-protecting ingredients to combat flakiness and keep dry skin soft. When used in a routine despite this warning, it goes in the evening after cleansing and before your main moisturizer.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
This serum is a poor match for dry skin because it contains drying alcohol and lacks enough rich, softening ingredients to keep your skin smooth and comfortable. If you still choose to use it with retinol, apply the serum before your retinol product at night, but follow up with a deeply nourishing moisturizer to protect your skin barrier.
How often should I use it?
This product is a poor fit for your dry skin because it contains alcohol, which can be drying, and lacks enough rich softening ingredients to keep your skin smooth and comfortable. A good moisturizing treatment for dry skin needs rich, softening ingredients and soothing moisturizers that lock in hydration and stop flakiness.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry skin since its main hydrators do not block pores. However, because it contains drying alcohol and lacks rich rich moisturizers, dry skin needs products packed with heavy oils or butters to stay smooth and comfortable.
Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?
This product is not ideal for the thin skin around the eyes or on the body when you have dry skin because it contains drying alcohol without enough rich, softening ingredients to soothe flakiness.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
What the research says
A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.
Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.
